I would suggest to send the recent statement that is from November 2012 to May, 2013. Are the funds in your bank account right now less than the suggested amount by CIC because you bought the car recently?

Thanks. The fund is above the limit.

It seems they lost the first one, as they say it was misplaced. I'd send them a six months bank statement up to date, you can send them a clarification note that you had to withdraw $k to buy a car, you may wish to send them the bill.

Thanks. I will go to bank and get the new statements now.

Hey guys, just got another request for POF this morning. Please read this and help. Thanks.

"This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada. Your
proof of funds were misplaced by our office and in order to help accelerate the
processing time of your application we would appreciate if you could send us your
proof of funds again. Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada."

The first POF request was on Mar. 24 and I submitted by mail on Apr.2. After the submission I inquired about the status and CIC did reply that they've received my POF. Now they're asking for POF again but not indicating for which period. It seems that they do not believe the money belongs to me since I have a large deposit in January. I have one question: should I provide the POF from Sep. 2012 to Mar. 2013 (the same as the one I mailed them previously) or from Nov. 2012 to May 2013? The situation is that I bought a car in April after submitting the first POF. Thanks.

If you do not have sufficient money and think that you do not have any convincing statement for insufficient fund, then I would suggest email them right away the previous 6 month bank statement copy. I believe you have scanned or photocopied the previous statement and kept with you. You can mention, I am just forwarding the bank statement which I sent you previously. As they have realized, it is their mistake, they should accept your previous statement I believe. If you have sufficient fund, do not bother many options, just get a new one and send them.

Hi guys,

So for POF I need to provide "evidence of funds which are completely available, transferrable and unencumbered by debt or other obligations. Evidence of account activity for the past six months must also be submitted".

Wondering whether Bank statements are sufficient or any other doc is also required? Thanks

Usually what they require for the money that is "completely available" is Net worth statement. TD Bank already has a form for that and they charge $10. You can also CIBC guys, they do not have a template but the manager can print it out for you.

Additionally, you have to provide the previous six months' bank statements.

Hello CuriousGuy,

I noticed that you didn't share your timeline with us! I know that you have got your PPR already.

Hi fellow applicants, I am new to this forum and I appreciate the work you are doing here.
We made our application last year and after a long waiting process we received our pass. request. yet the stress continues because we are not in Canada and we are coming back at the end of the summer. We cannot mail them our passports. Before our departure from Canada, we contacted CIC asking if we are required to submit an address change form although our permanent address is still in Canada. They told us all necessary communication with us will be made via email and in case our application is approved while we are away, we could contact the Canadian Embassy. The embassy in our home country says that they cannot process our file as they do not have access to it. I sent an email to OttPilot-immigration@cic.gc.ca 6 days ago but have not received a reply yet. how long does it usually take them to reply? we also tried the call center. they say we need to wait for a reply to our email. the pass request email we received states that CIC should receive our passports within 60 days and I am worried about the deadline. I wonder if anybody here has any suggestions. thank you!

Thanks. The fund is above the limit.

Yeah, send them the new statement. As long as the funds are above the limit prescribed, you are safe and they do not bother bothering you about the difference in the last statement and current. Attach a letter explaining the purpose of the new letter (that you were requested by CIC) and why the number mentioned in the application is different from the new statement (that you bought a car and attach the receipt as N_o said). That will work.

It would be better to take a new certification letter from banker with the above statement mentioned in it.Also attach 6 months statements. That should work.

How long will you stay in Turkey? Will you come back after the deadline?
Ottawa guys take their time to response, it depends on the kind of the inquiry, it takes from a day to 50 days!
So if you are staying for a long time in Turkey, you may wish to send them the passports, it takes 30 days to issue the visa in most of cases.

Bank statements need to be certified or may I just provide copies of downloaded e-statements? Thanks

Sending the passports to Ottawa by courier or post may not be possible from Turkey. I believe, someone has to carry the passports with them with an authorization letter by the passport holder.
